Okay? which country's chocolate is the best?

i say swiss chocolate.

and i will not add a poll, not even if you pay me.

Dark chocolate

:eek: omg, I was just eating Belgian chocolates and thinking I should make a thread about best chocolate.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

*runs away crying*

Belgian chocolate. Undoubtedly.

Swiss chocolate, and the Germanic/Scandanavian chocolates that apply a similar sort of style are all very nice by themselves. On the other hand, with a freezer or an oven, it's British Cadbury's all the way. It's not as nice as the smoother chocolates when lukewarm, but freeze or melt it and it's absolutely delicious.

I see we have a true chocolate gourmet among us.

Dark chocolate
seconded.

*runs off to find some dark chocolate*

I love Swiss chocolates but Ghirardelli in San Francisco makes chocolate equally as good. If you mean hot chocolate the best I've had was at a Mayan ruin. It was supposedly made the ancient Mayan way. Not certain of that but it was definitively the best I've had. Chocolate did come from their land originally and their kings drank it so I guess they could have come up with really good ways to make it.

Belgian chocolate and Norwegian milk chocolate - and Italian white chocolate...

And I have no idea what kind it was, but I once had a chocolate fondue in Prague that was just... heavenly! :D
Chocolate?

:fluffle: Mmm... Chocolate :fluffle:

Need we really say more?

Chocolate as such: Swiss.
Truffles et al.: probably Belgian, though I wouldn't really know.

But ours (German) is pretty damn good, too.

My basic rule of thumb for chocolate: outside of the US and Great Britain (and probably the rest of the Commonwealth) you can't really go wrong all that much. :D

Hear hear ;)

Hear hear ;)
It's the truth! Obviously.

Ever tried a Hershey's Kiss? *shudder*

Hey, I hope you weren't comparing British chocolate to American chocolate there *narrows eyes*. Ours isn't as good as yours, but its a hell of a lot better than that stuff they sell in America that tastes like ass*

*disclaimer: no, I don't know what actual ass tastes like :P

It's the truth! Obviously.

ah but have you ever tried Ghirardelli chocolate? I wish i could ship you some.
:fluffle:

Soylent Chocolate.

LOL @ the disclaimer. :p
And yeah, true, as far as I could tell Cadbury is indeed better than Hershey's. In fact, during my time in the US, Cadbury's Nuts & Raisins chocolate was the one to fall back on if the supermarket was out of the expensive imported German ones.
Now, Hershey's....

ah but have you ever tried Ghirardelli chocolate? I wish i could ship you some. I'm pretty sure I must have. I had ice cream at Ghirardelli's in San Francisco (still have their menu on my kitchen wall) and I *adore* their brownie mix (don't know if they still make it, but it was always a must to bring back from vacations).

Meh, I don't subscribe to this school of thought that places European chocolate on some sort of pedastal. I would agree that some of the best chocolates are Swiss/Belgian, but the average stuff doesn't really do much for me. Because I was raised on it, and I live within lurching distance of Joe Cadbury's grave, I'd have to go with good ole' British Cadbury's Dairy Milk.

Also, American chocolate is just wank.

Soylent Chocolate.
I'm sure that would taste btter than the Soy Chocolate I had the misfortune to taste one time. :eek:
I was TOLD it was chocolate but after first taste I knew it couldn't be. It turned out to be made of soymilk and carob and who knows what else. :mad:
A horrible experience truly and one I hope nobody here has experienced. :gundge:

erm..... affordable chocolate; Galaxy

chocolate chocolate;Guylian

I'd have to go with Swiss but if you include price I'd go with Cadbury

though Cadbury has to be the thin ones for children I can't chew through steel especially when its frozen solid :mad:

So you're an expert on wank?

Indeed. Hersheys especially so.

Some family friends of ours lived in Slough, within sight of the Cadbury's factory, and the smell was worth the visit alone.;)

Best chocolate I ever had was some Belgian chocolate... and I only had it once.

Chocolate handmade by a Swiss Chocolateur (Fellmanns) in Geraldine, New Zealand is the best in the world.
Trust me on this.
I've just worked my way through 3 kgs of the stuff in the last two weeks.

Way better than anything else I've tried. And I've tried lots of chocolate. The nearest Supermarket to me has over 100 different types of Swiss and Belgian chocolate. As well, the Mall it's in has four chocolate shops (2 Swiss, 2 Belgian), selling handmade chocs flown in weekly.
I've tried them all, and still none compare to Fellmanns.






Worst chocolate was a bar I bought in Tibet. It was so foul, I just managed to force myself to swallow the small piece I bit off and then threw the rest away.
Think of hardened chocolate-flavoured vegetable fat.

Ugh. European right? :rolleyes:

No poll, no answer. And why would I want to pay you? it's your thread :rolleyes:

Any chocolate flavored alcohol.

LOL @ the disclaimer. :p

Funny thing is, the best chocolate i've ever had came in these giant boxes sent to my gf in CA many, MANY years ago by her grandma. Mmmm.

Now, i really couldn't say. But i love dark chocolate - .7 oz. a day.

Belgian... never tasted anything better.

I remember the relief when I came across Ghirardelli's of being able to eat chocolate in the US. I don't know what herhsey call the stuff they make but it certainly doens't tatse like chocolate.

The best chcoclates I have ever tasted were Belgian (stops typing to look for a licking the lipos smiley).

Australian chocolate is pretty good :)

Dark chocolate is my favourite... I don't think I have any left though :(

Okay? which country's chocolate is the best?

i say swiss chocolate.

and i will not add a pole, not even if you pay me.
You oxymoronic racist bastard!
Don't discriminate against your own kind!:upyours:

Whittakers(SP) Chocolate is the best.:)

Ohhh I don't know where to begin. Chocolate (droooooooooooooooool)
Dark Chocolate
Milk Chocolate
Swiss Milk Chocolate
White Chocolate
Wispas (may they rest in pieces)

Australian chocolate is pretty good :)Yeah, I wasn't sure, but I figured the chances of it were rather slim, judging from the "motherland". :p

You oxymoronic racist bastard!
Don't discriminate against your own kind!:upyours: Ha! Brilliant. Especially because I didn't even *notice* the spelling until now. *snorts*

This thread gives me an erection.

I've never had English chocolates... I'll put them on my list of chocolates to avoid, along with American, which is already there :p

In Soviet Russia, Erection gives you!

*backpaddles* Well.... I was forced to admit on these very pages that English chcocolate might not be *all* that bad - which I actually did, because said Cadbury Nuts & Raisins really was pretty decent.
Then again, it's no coincidence that I only ate Nuts & Raisins -'twas the one that best covered the taste of the actual chocolate by letting you concentrate on the nuts and raisins instead. :p

So, in effect, I was right all along. *nods*

*Mocks Poleland and Whereyouthinkyougoing, i edited the quote.:P Heh, since when are you so fast to reply?

Belgium.

Game, set, match.

Belgium does it for me.
Swiss and german are also pretty damn good.

Swiss :D

American mass produced chocolate is nasty, I agree, but there are plenty of local and small-batch chocolatiers in my neck of the woods (look up Fran's of Tacoma, Dilettante of Seattle and Roger's of Victora for examples) whose wares are truly scrumtrilescent.
